Can you believe they've come this far by now? Once known as OpenBeOS, Haiku today announced the release of the fourth alpha for Haiku R1. It seems like only yesterday when BeOS died and OpenBeOS rose form its ashes, generating a new hope among the legions of avid BeOS fans. Now, almost twelve years later, we've hit the fourth alpha.

Before I forget:
Congratulations for the work done. The release of Alpha4 came later than I expected, the good progess was done. The 64-bit port is in a good shape, the port to arm it's on his way, mesa was updated,.... and many things more.

One should not forget to congratulate the GSoC students, who contributed to all that too. And also the people who donated money for haiku, especially karl vom dorff (haikuware.com), he did a lot for haiku, but somehow he is not as often mentionated as he really deserves.
